Reconstruction of ionospheric VTEC using empirical orthogonal function and its performance during extreme geomagnetic storm by Rajat Acharya, Victor Dey

“…This paper demonstrates that the spatial distribution of the ionospheric TEC over the Indian region can be reconstructed with appreciable accuracy using minimal numbers of empirical orthogonal functions as a basis. These basis functions were derived using the Singular Value Decomposition of a matrix composed of pragmatic vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) values collected across varied ionospheric conditions and measured over the region of interest. …”
